HT201363 Forget the restriction pass code, can the apple store send to me to reopen and change the code?

Can apple store help me to send back the old pass code, then I can change to a new one for safety!
Thanks!

Hello KKchristks,
It sounds like you need to reset your Restrictions passcode. According to the following article, you will need to restore your iPhone as a new device:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4213
If you lose or forget your Restrictions passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.
If you are not referring to a Restictions passcode, would you elaborate on the passcode you are attempting to reset?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

  • HT201304 Where can I to get the restrictions pass code number on my ipad

    To open my iPad on my system can not put the restrictions pass code number on it do I on my own one or apple system give me number?

    You create the Restriction Passcode you wish to use... or do you mean there is already a Restrictions Passcode on the Device...

  • HT201304 Can the restrictions pass code be different than the auto lock pass code?

    Can the restrictions pass code be different than the auto lock pass code. Defeats the purpose if a child can get into restrictions using the same code that is used to prevent unauthorized access to the phone itself.

    Of course it can, for the reason you state.

  • How do I find out what the restrictions pass code is

    My son is trying to purchase some additions to a game but when accessing the App Store he is asked for the restriction pass code. However we don't recall setting one up for him and he hasn't been asked for this before. Why? How do we find out what it is?  This is since upgrading to version 5.1.

    If you restricted in-app-purchases in Settings/General/Restrictions, and you don't remember the restriction code anymore to disable the restrictions, you'll have to set up the iPod as new device again, without using the latest backup, the restriction code is part of the backup and can't be changed by restoring the device from a backup that has been taken after the code has been set.
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If there are no restrictions set, the code he is asking for is the iTunes ID password, to be able to purchase and download. If you have forgotten that one, follow this article to reset it:

    Try erasing the device using iCloud.com - assuming that you were using iCloud and the Find my iPhone app on the device.

  • I put a restrictions pass code on my iPad and forgot the password. I tried to reset it to factory settings but that means I lose all my purchases and I don't wanna lose $ 25 worth of purchases. I tried restoring it but brings back restrictions code....

    How do I get rid of the restrictions pass code but keep my apps?

    You won't lose purchases. They can be downloaded to your iTunes library on your computer and backed up.
    You can also redownload your purchases directly from your iPad after the restore by signing into the iTunes and App stores with your Apple ID:
    Open iTunes Store app > Purchased
    Open App Store app > Purchased

  • I cannot remember my restriction pass code, and I don't know how to retrieve it. Can someone help me, I'm new to this stuff!!

    I set a restriction pass code, and when I tried to use it, it says it's wrong. But I had to put it in 2x so it can't be wrong. And I just set it this morning, so I didn't forget. It just won't let me in.

    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 - Learn what to do if you have forgotten or can't remember your passcode, or if your device displays a message saying it is disabled.
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:

    How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, whqen iI have forgot my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, I just purchased yesterday? This is my first iMac and IPhone5, so i am kinda out on my own, and can use some pointers!! My phone is full of pictures, and will not download anything, until i store my pictures somewhere!!

    If you don't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it using iTunes. Do NOT restore your backup. The restrictions passcode is part of the backup.
    Everything on the phone will be lost.
    You can extract the photos from the camera roll the same way you would from any other digital camera. Having a restriction passcode set should not prevent that. do that before you put the phone in recovery mode and restore it.

  • HT1414 I have forgot my restriction pass code and can't delete apps to enable me to update software

    I can't update to iOS 7 as need to delete data but have forgot my restrictions pass code so it won't work ....help

    If you have a backup that was created before you entered the passcode you can restore from that backup to remove it from the iPad. If not, you have to restore the iPad as new in order to remove the passcode.
    You may have some success finding the passcode with a third party app like this.

  • I forgot my restrictions passcode, if I do a restore to new with my phone and change the passcode, can I then backup from a previous restore

    I forgot my restrictions passcode, if I do a restore to new phone in iTunes and change the passcode, can I then backup from a previous restore to put everything back onto my phone.

    No you cannot. The restrictions passcode is part of the backup, and if you restore to a backup that contains the restrictions passcode, you will be right back where you started. Only alternative is to restore the device as new, or if you restore to a backup, it has to be before the restrictions passcode was entered into the phone. However, that could mean that you would be restoring to a date that does not contain all of your data.
